UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
BOARD OF VISITORS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
BOARD MEETING:
June 11, 2010
COMMITTEE:
Buildings and Grounds
AGENDA ITEM:
II. A.
Capital Plan Project Approvals
BACKGROUND: Normally, the Board of Visitors approves major
capital projects as part of the biennial update of the Major
Capital Projects Program and the Finance Committee approves
financial plans of projects expected to occur in the near term.
When the University identifies new capital projects outside the
biennial Major Capital Projects Program cycle or a project is
accelerated from the far term to the near term, the projects
require approval by the Finance and Buildings and Grounds
Committees and the financial plans require approval by the
Finance Committee. Recently two projects have been identified
that technically represent revisions of scope and budget for two
projects currently listed on the approved Major Capital Projects
Program. Because the projects are substantially different in
scope and cost from the ones currently listed on the program we
plan to treat them as new projects and eliminate the existing
projects from the program. At its June meeting, the Finance
Committee will review financial plans for these projects and the
Buildings and Grounds Committee will review the projects for
inclusion in the Major Capital Projects Program.
DISCUSSION: Previously the Board approved a $57 million project
to replace chillers in the North Chiller Plant located in the
Health System. A January 2010 study of the Health System
Chiller Plant System reviewed chilled water demand and system
capacity for the next 20 years. Currently, there is a need to
replace five 1,200-ton chillers in the North Chiller Plant that
are at the end of their useful life and to add 6,000 tons to
meet Health System projected loads over the next ten years. The
optimum solution to address both needs is to build a new 12,000ton East Chiller Plant with an initial 6,000 tons of chiller
capacity at a cost of $25.8 - $29.0 million. This proposed
project will replace the $57 million North Chiller Plant project
in the Major Capital Projects Program. The project will be
funded from debt, to be repaid by the Medical Center and the
University’s Utility Infrastructure Reserve. Any incremental
operating and maintenance cost related to this project will be
funded from University funds.
3
The second project will construct a new 20,000 gross square
foot (gsf) facility on Edgemont Road across from Slaughter
Recreation Center to be jointly used by the School of
Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) for student projects and
Facilities Management (FM) for shop services. SEAS would occupy
the upper level with access to Edgemont Road, while FM would
occupy the lower floor with access to adjacent existing shop
spaces. The similar need by both occupants for large open floor
spaces will allow for flexibility in finishes and future use.
This proposed project will replace the $1 million SEAS Student
Projects Building in the Major Capital Projects Program. The
project will be funded from SEAS gifts ($1.7 million) and FM
operating funds ($3.5 - $4.2 million). Any incremental
operating and maintenance cost related to this project will be
funded from University funds and FM Operating Funds apportioned
based on occupant square footage.
ACTION REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee, the Finance Committee and by the Board of Visitors
APPROVAL OF ADDITIONS TO THE MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS PROGRAM
RESOLVED, the addition of the East Chiller Plant ($25.8 $29.0 million) and School of Engineering and Applied Science
Student Projects/Facilities Management Shop Building ($3.5 $4.2 million), projects to the University’s Major Capital
Projects Program is approved.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
BOARD OF VISITORS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
BOARD MEETING:
June 11, 2010
COMMITTEE:
Buildings and Grounds
AGENDA ITEM:
II.B. Project Budget and Scope Review, McLeod
Hall Renovation
BACKGROUND: In accordance with the policy adopted by the Board
of Visitors in October 2004, all capital project budget
increases in excess of ten percent require the approval of the
Finance Committee, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, and the
Board of Visitors. In February 2007, the Board of Visitors
authorized the renovation of 30,000 gross square feet (gsf) of
McLeod Hall at a project budget of $6.075 million. Cash and
pledges are in hand to cover the total cost of the project, and
it is currently under construction.
DISCUSSION: The School of Nursing has had a long-term plan to
renovate and re-furnish McLeod Hall. Accordingly, the School
seeks an $8.735 million and 20,000 gsf increase in the
authorized budget and scope, bringing the total project to
$14.81 million and 50,000 gsf. The increased authorization will
allow the School to complete the renovation of the building, to
make minor exterior modifications, and to purchase necessary
furniture and equipment.
The project expansion will be funded from gifts. Through
March 31st, the School has raised nearly $1 million in cash and
pledges towards the additional scope. Construction and equipment
purchases will be phased as gifts are collected.
ACTION REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and the Board of Visitors
APPROVAL OF PROJECT BUDGET AND SCOPE REVIEW, MCLEOD HALL
RENOVATION
RESOLVED, that an increase to the McLeod Hall Renovation
project of $8,735,000 and 20,000 gross square feet, bringing the
total project to $14,810,000 and 50,000 gross square feet, is
approved.

II.C. Naming of Breneman Courtyard at the
University of Virginia
BACKGROUND: The University of Virginia has constructed a new
building located between Ruffner Hall and Emmet Street, which
will offer a visible and dramatic improvement in the ability of
Curry School of Education faculty members to collaborate on
projects and interact with students. A landscaped central
courtyard, framed between two open-air arcades, will link the
new Bavaro Hall with the existing Ruffner Hall and will serve as
a gathering space for students, faculty, and staff of the Curry
School, a type of space that has not existed in the past.
Daniel M. Meyers, Chair of the Curry School Foundation
Board of Directors, has provided a generous gift to honor David
W. Breneman, dean of the Curry School from 1995-2007, by naming
the central courtyard.
DISCUSSION: The President will propose the naming of the new
courtyard at the Curry School of Education, the Breneman
Courtyard.
ACTION REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds
Committee and by the Board of Visitors
NAMING OF BRENEMAN COURTYARD
WHEREAS, Daniel M. Meyers, Chair of the Curry School

BACKGROUND: The proposed project will construct a new 20,000
gross square feet facility on Edgemont Road across from
Slaughter Recreation Center. The building will be jointly used
by the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) for
student projects and Facilities Management (FM) for shop
services. SEAS would occupy the upper levels with access to
Edgemont Road, while FM would occupy the lower floors with
access to adjacent existing shop spaces. The similar need by
both occupants for large open floor spaces with mezzanines will
allow for flexibility in finishes and future use. This proposed
project will replace the $1 million SEAS Student Projects
Building in the Major Capital Projects Program.
DISCUSSION: The Office of the Architect has prepared the
concept, site, and design guidelines which Mr. Neuman will

School of Engineering and Applied Science & Facilities Management Work
Shop Building - Concept, Site and Design Guidelines
A) Proposed Project Concept
The School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) proposes to construct a student projects
building to house student project team initiatives focusing on advancements in energy and
environmental technologies. The new building will provide flexible and adaptable work space
that supports experiential learning through student participation in various hands-on student
regional and national competitions, such as the solar car, solar house, mini Baja car and concrete
canoe.
Currently, engineering project teams perform their project work in what space is available to
them in a variety of locations, including the Observatory Mountain Engineering Research
Facility and the Milton Field site east of Charlottesville. The School seeks to consolidate these
activities within a single structure of approximately 9,000 gross square feet (GSF), and make it
more accessible for students from Central Grounds.
Facilities Management proposes to partner with the School of Engineering on this proposed
structure in order to construct additional shop space. A space needs analysis, conducted for
Facilities Management in 2009, identified a number of trades departments critically lacking in
shop, storage, office and locker space. These departments include Landscape, Renovations,
General Maintenance, Power System Distribution and HVAC Maintenance. Currently, these
departments are dispersed in structures built prior to 1990 that do not provide sufficient space to
serve the needs generated by buildings constructed in the last 25 years.
A feasibility study, conducted by an external A/E consultant and the Office of the Architect, has
identified a sloping site in West Grounds on Edgemont Road across from the Slaughter
Recreation Center. It can accommodate a four level structure with two levels built into grade in
which Facilities Management shop space would be located and accessed from the existing
corporation yard. The two levels built above grade, which would house the SEAS student work
space, would be accessed from Edgemont Road. However, vertical circulation will be common
to all levels with the intent of capitalizing on equipment needs for both users, as well as lending
flexibility to future functions. Due to its use and location, this structure is conceived as a
prefabricated building developed to a shell and core level.
The total project is budgeted at $3.5 - 4.2M and will contain approximately 18,000-20,000 GSF
of core and shell space, to be divided equally between the School of Engineering and Facilities
Management. SEAS will develop their space in the future with gift funds and Facilities with
Departmental funds.

B) Siting Criteria
The University of Virginia general siting criteria for all new facilities includes the following
components. Those highlighted are the most pertinent in determining the siting recommendation
for the School of Engineering and Applied Science Student Projects and Facilities Management
Shops Building.
•
Conforms with overall land use plan and district/area plans.
•
Reinforces functional relationships with other components of the same
department or program, and is compatible with other neighboring uses.
•
Satisfies access requirements- pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and service.
•
Maximizes infill opportunities to utilize land resources and existing
infrastructure.
•
Minimizes site development costs, including extension of utilities, access, loss of
parking, mass grading, etc.
•
Minimizes opportunity cost: (i.e.,) value of this use and size versus other
alternatives.
•
Provides a size that is adequate, but not excessive, for initial program, future
expansion, and ancillary uses.
•
Allows for incorporating sustainability principles in terms of solar orientation,
reuse of historic structures, storm water management, etc.
•
Avoids unnecessary environmental impacts, including significant tree removal or
filling of existing stream valleys.
•
Allows site visibility and aesthetic character as appropriate for the intended
use and for the neighborhood.
•
Minimizes time for implementation of project.
12
C) Proposed Site
The site is located across Edgemont Road from the Slaughter Recreation Facility and backs up
onto the Facilities Management work yard. The site straddles a hillside such that it can
accommodate four levels, with only two levels above the grade of Edgemont Road. Facilities
Management will occupy the two lowest levels, with access out onto their work yard, and the
School of Engineering and Applied Science will occupy the two upper levels with access out
onto Edgemont Road. This enables convenient and separate access for both occupants. Other
adjacent buildings beyond Slaughter Recreation include a warehouse for the University Press and
a recycling facility.

Academical Village Projects Update: June, 2010
Pavilion I: A modest renovation was undertaken in late fall. Though primarily a “patchand-paint” project, new counters were installed in the kitchen, internet service was
improved and the floors were refinished. The large and noisy AC compressor on the north
side of the building was replaced by a connection to the central chilled water system, the
exterior masonry and the southern brick areaway were repaired. The front doors were
repaired and repainted to match their original graining. Renovation of the garden on the
north side of the building will take place this fall.
Pavilion III: This building became vacant in late winter. This was an even more modest
interior renovation, and both front doors to the pavilion were repainted with a more
accurate finish.
Pavilion IX: A major renovation is underway at Pavilion IX. The historic structure report
was completed in late spring. Work under way includes replacement of the plumbing and
electrical systems, connection to the central chilled water loop to centrally air condition the
building for the first time, addition of hard-wired smoke detection and fire suppression
systems, as well as relocation of all of the utilities serving the building and the West Lawn
from Pavilion IX’s basement to the rear yard and adjacent parking court. The kitchen and
bathrooms will be renovated and the kitchen enclosure at the back porch will be replaced.
No significant exterior restoration is planned. A concurrent project to rejuvenate Pavilion
IX Upper Garden will also be completed by June, 2011.

Colonnade Roof and Railing Replacement: The next phase of this multi-year project
(started at Pavilion IX) will replace the failing roof and railings at the colonnade south of
Pavilion VII, and will recreate the terrace above these student rooms. Work began
immediately after Final Exercises, and will be completed in time to allow the students to
move into their rooms. The rooms in “Bachelors’ Row” will receive a light renovation, with
new ceiling fans, sinks and refinished floors.
West Range Student Rooms: The first eight rooms on the West Range (1 through 15) will
be renovated this summer. Work will include plaster repair, installation of mantles,
refinishing floors, and replacement of sinks, ceiling fans, and window sashes. The Raven
Society is submitting a proposal to the Jefferson Trust to refresh the appearance and
improve the interpretation of the Poe Room, which is in this block of rooms. The Historic
Preservation team is consulting on this effort.
Pavilion X: The exterior restoration was completed in late winter, and the Lawn-side
exterior of the pavilion and the adjacent lawn rooms now accurately reflects its appearance
in Thomas Jefferson’s day. Many small items were addressed in addition to the noticeable
changes to the paint colors and the addition of the parapet. These include recreating the
wide terraces above the student rooms and recreating original shutter hardware. The
renovation of the lower garden at Pavilion X continues with training the boxwood into tree
form; further improvements to the paths and stairs are to follow in a year or two.

Hotel E: The recreation of the back porch at Hotel E and the installation of barrier-free
access to Hotel E through this entrance were completed just before Finals.
Hotel F: The Historic Structure Report (HSR) will be finished this summer. The HSR is
being done in anticipation of a renovation when the building becomes vacant after the New
Cabell Hall project.
University Chapel: The sidewalks, plaza and landscape south and east of the Chapel were
modified this winter to create barrier-free access to the front doors. A larger plaza was
created for gathering before and after events, and the circulation around the building was
reconfigured to separate this plaza from pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

Post Occupancy Evaluation
Executive Summary
Ruffin Hall
I. Background
As a part of its oversight of the University’s Capital Program, the Executive Review Committee
for the Capital Development Process stipulated at its April 4, 2004 meeting that Post Occupancy
Evaluations be completed for capital projects approximately one year after beneficial occupancy.
II. Purpose
The Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) process is a “lessons learned” exercise to improve the
design, construction, operation, and user satisfaction of future buildings by providing an
assessment of completed projects. The process identifies architectural, engineering, and
functional components that work well and those that are problematic. The process also supports
the University’s sustainability program by meeting the criteria for the thermal comfort
verification credit of the U.S. Green Building Council (“USGBC”) LEED certification process.
III. Methodology
Information was gathered through 1) a building tour, 2) a web-based survey distributed to
faculty, staff, studio majors / student workers, and 5th year students, 3) a meeting with the FP&C
project manager and 4) input from the Department Chair.
IV. Project Description
Ruffin Hall is a three story, 42,000 gsf building located on the north side of Carr’s Hill between
the Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library and Culbreth Road. Ruffin was built to house the Studio Art
program of the McIntire Department of Art. Prior to the completion of Ruffin, the program was
scattered among several locations on the Central Grounds. The building provides painting,
drawing, printmaking, sculpture, paper making, digital art and photography studios / workshops.
Galleries, hallway exhibit spaces, faculty offices and classrooms are also housed in the building.
The building was first occupied in August 2008.
V. Summary of Evaluation Findings
Ruffin Hall has been well received with 91% of the respondents having a positive impression of
the building. The positive response rate for staff and 5th year students was 100%. Studio majors/
student workers were next at 94%. The positive response rate for faculty was 82%. (Note: The
overall response rate was 33%.) Findings for specific building features were:
1. Program Spaces: A majority of the respondents indicated that the program spaces
met their needs. The studio / workshops received the highest positive response rate.
Classrooms were next followed by offices and galleries / hallway exhibition spaces.
While the exhibition spaces received the lowest positive response rate, only 8% of the
respondents gave these spaces negative responses.
39
2. Temperature: Responses varied by program space. Classrooms had the highest
positive response rate of 61%. Studios / workshops had the lowest positive response rate
of 37%. Offices had the highest negative response rate of 30%. Gallery/Exhibition
Spaces had the lowest negative response rate of 8%.
3. Lighting: Responses varied by program space. Classrooms had the highest positive
response rate of 68%. Studios / workshops had the lowest positive response rate of 48%.
Offices and studios/workshop had the highest negative response rate of 28%. Gallery /
Exhibition Spaces had the lowest negative response rate of 22%.
4. Acoustics: Acoustics received the lowest positive response rates of any building
feature. Based on the comments this appears to be primarily due to the noise generated
by the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC). One comment
indicated that there was also a problem with echoing. The maintenance staff also noted
the loud HVAC noise and the echoing.
VI. Thermal Comfort Findings
The thermal comfort verification credit for the U.S. Green Building Council LEED certification
program requires that thermal environmental conditions be comfortable for 80% or more of the
building occupants. The survey results indicate that, with the exception of the faculty and staff
offices, Ruffin Hall falls within the acceptable range.
VII. Actions and Recommendations
The following are the three most significant recommendations for corrective actions and for
future projects.
Acoustics: The department’s teaching and studio functions are compromised by the building’s
acoustics. This is due in part to the building’s hard surfaces and large studios, which create
echoing problems as noted in the Room 312 comment - “…and the echoing is very annoying.”
The primary problem, however, is excessive HVAC noise levels, as noted in the comment – “I
feel like I am teaching in an airport. The POE for Wilsdorf Hall noted a similar problem with
excessive HVAC noise in the building’s labs.
Action (Corrective): Given the extensive hard surfaces and large spaces, which were
part of the program objectives, corrective action for the echoing problem is not feasible.
For rooms that are impacted by noise from HVAC ducts, the installation of duct baffles,
adjustment of fan speeds or acoustical ceilings, are possible corrective actions. A
commissioning agent could help determine the primary cause for the noise. Any ceiling
designs should be based on decibel and frequency readings performed by an acoustical
consultant.
Recommendations (For Future Buildings): Classrooms, labs, and studios should be
designed for acoustical performance. In addition, HVAC systems should be designed to
meet the noise criteria standards recommended by ASHRAE.
Temperature: While the survey results indicate that with the exception of offices, the
temperatures in Ruffin Hall fall within the acceptable range for the LEED Thermal Comfort
40
Verification credit, the positive responses for the temperatures in the classrooms and studios /
workshops were marginal. There were also a number of written comments complaining about
the temperatures in these spaces.
Action (Corrective): When funding is available, a commissioning agent should be hired
to review the contractor’s testing and balancing report and to adjust set points and
controls to insure normalized temperatures throughout the building.
Recommendations (For Future Buildings): Future projects should adhere to the
University’s design criteria for HVAC systems, as found in the Facilities Design
Guidelines. The University should continue the practice of enhanced commissioning
where appropriate (Commissioning for Ruffin Hall was performed by the contractor).
This will improve occupant satisfaction, optimize energy use and minimize operating
costs.
Drawing Reviews with Sponsor Representatives: In his assessment, the Department Chair
recommended “someone involved in managing projects with complicated systems should meet
personally with each individual faculty member to systematically review the construction
drawings for each of the studios to be sure that all aspects of the furnishings, plumbing, wiring,
and so on was what they thought they had communicated to the architects.” He also stated “I
relied too much on the faculty to review and comprehend the drawings on their own.” The Chair
of the Materials Science and Engineering Department raised the same issue regarding the faculty
review for the labs in Wilsdorf Hall. The notes from a POE meeting for that project state
“Faculty involvement could have been better. For example, the faculty was asked to sign-off on
plans without the A/E showing them where items, such as power outlets, data ports, were
located.”
Action (Corrective): Not Applicable.
Recommendations (For Future Buildings): Design teams should review construction
drawings for specialized spaces, such as research labs, art studios, computer labs, etc.,
with faculty and/or staff occupants to ensure that the designs meet the infrastructure
needs of these spaces. Where it is impractical to meet with each occupant, meetings
should occur with representatives from the sponsoring departments.

Post Occupancy Evaluation
Executive Summary
Claude Moore Nursing Education Building
I. Background
As a part of its oversight of the University’s Capital Program, the Executive Review Committee
for the Capital Development Process stipulated at its April 4, 2004 meeting that Post Occupancy
Evaluations be completed for capital projects approximately one year after beneficial occupancy.
II. Purpose
The Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) process is a “lessons learned” exercise to improve the
design, construction, operation, and user satisfaction of future buildings by providing an

functional components that work well and those that are problematic. The process also supports
the University’s sustainability program by meeting the criteria for the thermal comfort
verification credit of the U.S. Green Building Council (“USGBC”) LEED certification process.
III. Methodology
Information was gathered through 1) a building tour, and 2) a web-based survey distributed to
faculty, staff, undergraduate students, and graduate students.
IV. Project Description
The Claude Moore Nursing Education Building is a 31,300 gross square foot, 4-story building
located in the University’s Health System area on the west side of Jeanette Lancaster Way across
from the School of Nursing’s McLeod Hall. The building was built to provide additional
classrooms and faculty offices that were needed to accommodate an increase in the School of
Nursing’s enrollment. The lower two floors accommodate lecture halls, classrooms, and
academic offices. The upper two floors house faculty offices, conference rooms and the Dean’s
Suite. The building was first occupied in July, 2008.
V. Summary of Evaluation Findings
The Claude Moore Nursing Education Building has been well received with 95% of the survey
respondents giving the building a positive assessment. The positive response rate for the four
survey groups ranged from 94% to 96%. (Note: The overall response rate was 25%.) Findings
for specific building features were:
The Building’s Immediate Surroundings: 86% of the respondents felt safe in the areas
around the building. Other comments noted low light levels on the walks leading to the
nearby parking garage. Several individuals expressed concern about unsafe conditions
created by the adjacent construction projects (Medical Education and McLeod Hall
Renovations) and by vehicular traffic on Jeanette Lancaster Way.
42
Program Spaces: A majority of respondents indicated that the major program spaces
met their needs. The large classrooms (G120 and G010) received the highest positive
response rate. The seminar rooms (CMN 1110 and CMN 1120) were next followed by
the conference rooms. While the workspaces received the lowest positive response rate,
only 7% of the respondents gave negative responses for their workspaces.
Temperature: Respondents were more satisfied with the temperatures in the large
classrooms, seminar rooms, and conference rooms than they were with the workspace
temperatures. The overall positive response rates for the different program spaces ranged
from a low of 72% for the workspaces to a high of 79% for the seminar and conference
rooms. Negatives responses ranged from a low of 9% for the conference rooms to a high
of 20% for the workspaces. 50% of staff respondents gave negative rating for their
workspaces. Written comments noted cold room temperatures, and expressed frustration
with not being able to regulate the room temperatures.
Lighting: Responses varied slightly by program space. Overall positive response rates
for all program categories were over 90%. Other written comments noted problems with
controlling automatic light fixtures and accessing wall mounted light sensors.
Acoustics: Positive responses for program spaces ranged from a low of 88% for
workspaces to a high of 92% for the classrooms. Other written workspace comments
noted being able to hear conversations taking place in common areas, in hallways, and in
adjacent offices, as well as hearing noises from building plumbing and equipment.
VI. Thermal Comfort Findings
The thermal comfort verification credit for the U.S. Green Building Council LEED certification
program requires that thermal environmental conditions be comfortable for 80% or more of the
building occupants. The survey results indicate that the Claude Moore Nursing Education
Building falls within the acceptable range.
VII. Actions and Recommendations
The following are three significant recommendations.
Temperature: Even though the survey responses were sufficiently positive to achieve the
thermal comfort verification credit for the U.S. Green Building Council LEED certification
program, building temperatures received low satisfaction responses and high dissatisfaction
responses when compared to the other survey elements. In addition, building temperatures
received more negative comments than any other building element.
Action (Corrective): Continue adjusting control systems to improve temperatures in the
offices, classrooms, seminar rooms, conference rooms and common areas.
Recommendations (For Future Buildings): Given that it is hard to keep office occupants
comfortable when multiple offices are controlled by a single thermostat and given that
individual thermostats in each office can significantly increase project costs, consider 1)
limiting the number of offices controlled by a single thermostat to 3, 2) using averaging
thermostats, and 3) utilizing an in-floor distribution system
43
Sufficient Electrical Outlets: A number of comments were made about the lack of adequate
outlets for laptop computers in classrooms, seminar rooms, and conference rooms. The POE for
Wilsdorf Hall pointed out a similar problem in its café.
Action (Corrective): Install additional outlets when funding is available.
Recommendations (For Future Buildings): An adequate number of outlets for laptop
computers should be provided in classrooms, seminar rooms, conference rooms, lounge
areas and study spaces.
Sustainability: As a part of the University’s sustainability initiatives, items, such as waterless
urinals and lights on motion sensors, have been incorporated into several projects. In the case of
the Claude Moore Nursing Education Building, these elements have been problematic.
Action (Corrective): The University should 1) take corrective action to eliminate odors
from urinals by rigorously following the maintenance requirements, and 2) determine if
relocating light sensors is financially feasible.
Recommendations (For Future Buildings): The effectiveness of green building
technologies should be researched before being incorporated into future projects. As a
result of its experience with waterless urinals and their maintenance procedures, the
University has switched to low flow urinals.

APPENDIX
UVA Office of University Building Official Annual Report 2009‐2010 Introduction
The University of Virginia Office of University Building Official (OUBO) is charged with the
administration of the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code as part of the Management
Agreement between UVA and the Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to the Restructured
Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act of 2005. Elaine B. Gall, P.E. has
served as the University Building Official since February 2009 and oversees the associated
duties for administration of Virginia’s building codes. Duties involved include review of plans,
processing of building permits, inspections, and issuance of Certificates of Occupancy. Mrs.
Gall and her staff report directly and solely to the Board of Visitors as described in the
management agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Overview
Significant increases in construction activity continued in the 2009-2010 year. OUBO issued
172 building permits compared to 148 the previous year. 355 plan reviews were accomplished
as compared to 324 in 2008-2009. Responsible for all structures owned by the University of
Virginia, members of staff traveled to a number of locations including Blandy Farm, UVA
College at Wise, and Fan Mountain to provide onsite consultations and inspections.
The Office of University Building Official issued Certificates of Occupancy for a variety of
structures including laboratories, dining halls, residential buildings, offices, and classroom
buildings. Certificates of Occupancy were issued for such buildings as:
•
•

Dining and Residence Halls - UVA
College at Wise
Student Lab Modular Building Blandy Farm
Primary Care Center Annex
Carter-Harrison Vivarium
South Lawn North and South Wings
Baseball Stadium Addition
College at Wise Residence Hall – Completed August 2009

In addition to the above, OUBO staff participated in 9 Value Management studies to identify cost
savings, better functionality, and improved energy efficiency of buildings. Staff also updated the
University of Virginia Design Guidelines to include requirements for desired design features for
University of Virginia structures that are above and beyond the minimum standards of building
codes. These include energy efficiency standards as part of our desire to minimize our carbon
footprint and utility costs and security measures to improve student safety in classrooms.

Plans Review
355 project reviews for 142 projects were completed in 2009-2010. 355 reviews reflect a 10%
increase over last year and a 33% increase in two years. Most, but not all, reviews fall under the
following five categories and break down as follows:

By being on grounds, the Office of University Building Official was able to provide services to
improve efficiency. Small projects were often handled by a process called “on-board” reviews
which enables the project manager and A/E to meet with staff to perform a plan review together
as opposed to the more traditional method designed for large projects of sending plans in for
review. This was particularly helpful with the many small Medical Center projects that have
resulted from relocations made necessary by the current Bed Expansion Project.
With a second year of significant increases in project reviews, the office instituted other
measures to meet the specific needs of the University of Virginia. Rather than set priorities
based on a first-come, first-served basis as would be the case if competing with other state
agencies for review priority, OUBO often set priorities based first on construction schedules,
emergency project needs, and funding available thus allowing UVA to have better control over
its own review and construction schedules.

Building Permits
Between April 1, 2009 and March 31, 2010, building permits were issued for 172 projects
compared to 148 for the previous year. The office also issued permits for temporary structures
such as bleachers for athletic and graduation events and staging for outdoor concerts. Partial
permitting increased as the University seeks to begin construction prior to design completion.
Thus partial permits for demolition, foundations, and even structural core were issued to allow
limited work to begin while remaining design work was being completed. Permits issued
included:

While not all projects require a full plan review, staff members provide consultation and
assistance for every permit issued. Increasing numbers due to both an increase in project
numbers and partial permitting led the Office of University Building Official to institute a
number of efforts to improve efficiency of the process.
In January 2010, we instituted electronic processing utilizing password protected building
permits. This significantly improved turnaround time since the process no longer relies on
transfer of hard copies which was particularly time-consuming for medical projects that required
signatures from persons remotely located.
In addition, a central email account was created for submittal of permit applications which can
then be posted on a website and is not dependent on a single individual’s email account. This is
particularly helpful to persons outside of Facilities Management less familiar with the process.
Staff training related to issuing permits was also held to increase the number of staff members
available for permit processing.

Inspections
The Office of University Building Official performs construction inspections to document
compliance with life safety and accessibility standards prior to granting occupancy. The
Management Agreement between the University and the Commonwealth of Virginia requires
approval from the State Fire Marshal’s Office prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy and
OUBO staff continued to maintain a working relationship with that office by keeping them
involved during construction and notifying them of issues that would affect compliance and
occupancy. This outstanding relationship was perhaps best exemplified by the several occasions
this year when the State Fire Marshal approved buildings based on OUBO final inspections
rather than performing their own inspections, indicating their trust and respect for our program.
This allowed UVA to continue on its own schedule rather than being delayed while awaiting
time slots in the State Fire Marshal’s schedule.
Assistance and information continued to be emphasized as the primary means of constructing
buildings that comply with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. OUBO staff
developed checklists containing items believed to be most helpful to construction managers and
contractors. Staff attended numerous pre-construction meetings to go over items needed for
individual projects and posted checklists on Facilities Management websites. Contractors are
well-informed early in each project of what is needed to pass OUBO and State Fire Marshal
inspections.
OUBO also performed inspections when single items were ready for inspection, particularly as it
related to accessibility issues where measurements are critical to state auditors. For example,
when the first of numerous accessible showers were installed, inspections were made and issues
noted for that single installation. Once corrected, the contractor could then apply the knowledge
gained for all remaining accessible showers and use the first as a prototype for the remaining.
This helped to prevent the delays and expenses that would have been involved had problems not
been noted until the end of the project.

Certificates of Occupancy
During the 2009-2010 reporting year, 19 Certificates of Occupancy were issued. In addition, the
Office of University Building Official issued 14 Certificates for Reoccupancy for major
renovations to existing buildings. Of particular notice was the significant number of projects
completed at UVA College at Wise where Certificates of Occupancy were issued for the
following buildings:
New Residence Hall
New Dining Hall
Complete Renovation of the Science Building
Renovations and Addition of the Arts Center
Smiddy IT Wing
UVA College at Wise Dining Hall Occupied December 2009
Occupancy was granted for numerous other projects including:
South Lawn North and South Wings

The Annex to the Primary Care Center received three separate Certificates of Occupancy within
a two-week timeframe. Just prior to opening for use as business offices, a large snowfall event
was forecast for Charlottesville. UVA Medical Center requested permission to utilize the empty
building for emergency sleeping quarters for hospital staff needing to stay in Charlottesville and
close to the hospital during the storm. OUBO staff worked with the UVA Medical Center and
Facilities Management to gain approval from the State Fire Marshal for this temporary
emergency use to begin on February 4, 2010 which was followed by an extension for a second
winter storm forecast for February 10. The building was finally occupied for its original
intended purpose a week later on February 17.
